Now\, she presents her collections from her entire carreer with Go As You Please – Ann-Sofie Back 1998–2018\, an exhibition that will fill Liljevalchs+ during the fall of 2024. \n\n\n\nAnn-Sofie Back got her MFA from Central St Martin’s in 1998. Since then\, she has made collections in her own name until 2018. Her collection has been showed on London and Paris Fashion Weeks and been sold in stores all over the world. The design archive of Back has been kept almost intact since she started designing in 1998. Everything is saved and is now taking place at Liljevalchs+ as a kind of prospective-retrospective for her long\, celebrated carreer in the fashion world. \n\n\n\nThe works of Ann-Sofie Back were inspired by stereotypical images of beauty\, taste\, femininity\, social phenomena and fashion\, creating a tool for status\, i.e. the transformative elements of fashion. Her work has been presented at prominent museums and galleries around the world. Alongside the exhibition\, a book has been composed\, covering the whole carreer of Ann-Sofie Back\, including sketches\, catwalk images\, campaigns\, press cuttings and invitations for fashion shows. The catalogue also features interviews and articles\, as well as different styling projects by Ann-Sofie Back for Self Self Service\, Purple and Dazed\, among others. \n\n\n\nPhoto from “Ann-Sofie Back aw04″\, photo: Chris Moore.   \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n Open today 11–17 \n \n\n\n\n Besöksinfo \n\n\n\n Boka gruppvisning \n\n\n\n Liljevalchs + URL:https://liljevalchs.se/kalender/go-as-you-please-ann-sofie-back-1998-2018/ CATEGORIES:Konstsamling ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://liljevalchs.se/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Session-utan-namn2860-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20250613T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20251012T235959 DTSTAMP:20260727T201505 CREATED:20250819T132402Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250915T092201Z UID:10000233-1749772800-1760313599@liljevalchs.se SUMMARY:Lars Jonsson\, invisibilis DESCRIPTION:placeholder-4-3Lars Jonsson\, invisibilis\n13 juni–12 oktober \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLars Jonsson is the most prominent painter of birds and nature in Sweden. In the exhibition invisibilis\, his lifelong artistry alongside many new works are presented. \n\n\n\nLars Jonsson is considered one of the world’s finest in depicting birds and nature\, a genre with a long-standing tradition in art history. The influence from Bruno Liljefors is particularly evident\, who exhibited in the very same halls of Liljevalchs\, in the art gallery’s first exhibition in 1916. In the 1970s\, Lars Jonsson became known internationally as an ornithologist for his handbook about the birds of Sweden. \n\n\n\nWith his deep knowledge\, unique perception and technical skills\, Lars Jonsson has revolutionized bird painting. In his paintings\, the birds’ appearance and the close connection to their habitats are captured\, but the images also reach deeper\, into their characters and inner lives. In the exhibition\, we are invited to follow the artists’ creative process\, from sketch to completed painting. In the poetic depictions\, we perceive something that on the surface seems hidden\, but that is made visible by Lars’ ability to identify with the personality and soul of the birds. \n\n\n\nWhen I\, for the first time this year\, point the monocular to the couple of eiders in the graygreen water\, calmly swimming in from the shores\, it’s that same feeling and perception of something that needs to be captured\, read and eternalized. In the exact moment that I see the scene\, my head paints what my retina perceives – the combination of graygreen\, pink\, the white that shifts to shades of peach\, mango\, lemon peel\, vanilla and the edges as black as dry liquorice\, and slowly\, the waves wander in toward the beach. The wonder takes place here and now\, says Lars Jonsson\, artist. \n\n\n\nThe curator of the exhibition is Emil Ivedal. \n\n\n\nImage: Septemberskymning (Common snipe)\, watercolour\, 2024. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Opens June 13th \n\n\n\n Visitors info \n\n\n\n Book a guided tour \n\n\n\n Main building URL:https://liljevalchs.se/kalender/lars-jonsson-invisibilis/ LOCATION:Liljevalchs Bergstenshuset\, Djurgårdsvägen 60\, Stockholm\, 11521\, Sverige CATEGORIES:Children & Youth,Guided tours,Konstsamling,Skola ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://liljevalchs.se/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/septemberskymning-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20251011T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20251011T150000 DTSTAMP:20260727T201505 CREATED:20251007T083927Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251007T083928Z UID:10000244-1760191200-1760194800@liljevalchs.se SUMMARY:Curator's tour: When We See Us DESCRIPTION:Join us for a guided tour with Tandazani Dhlakama\, the curator of the exhibition When We See Us: A Century of Black Figuration in Painting. \n\n\n\nThe tour will center around the six themes in the exhibition: The Everyday\, Joy and Revelry\, Repose\, Sensuality\, Spirituality and Triumph and Emancipation. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition has been internationally acclaimed as one of the most significant exhibitions of our time.

The exhibition brings together fifteen artists working across various media such as video\, performance\, installation\, sculpture\, painting\, and textiles. \n\n\n\nIn the second part of the curatorial project that began with Stockholm Cosmology (2024)\, Liljevalchs continues its survey of the Swedish art scene by considering various contact zones—in this iteration\, turning its gaze further afield. \n\n\n\nStockholm Cosmologies represents a constellation of relations across geographies and temporalities. These contact zones are historic as well as temporary—in some cases fleeting\, in others sustained through memory\, and often overlapping. One contact zone stems from the diplomatic relations between Sweden and the South African government in exile during the 1970s and 1980s\, a relationship rooted in solidarity and kinship. \n\n\n\nHowever\, the exhibition resists the framing of an historic set of relations. Other considerations are the lived lives of artists and the liminal aspects of being situated in-between two geographies. The practice of South African-born artist Lefifi Tladi\, and his life of exile\, existing between Sweden and South Africa\, is a departure point for the curatorial journey. Queerness is a zone of contact\, as are the legacies of Dutch colonial violence\, linking artists from the southern tip of Africa to the Carribbean\, and returning to Sweden. \n\n\n\nStockholm Cosmologies leans into the notion of ‘parallel aesthetics’—an articulation by the late Koyo Kouoh\, in the framing of the exhibition When We See Us (currently on view at Liljevalchs+). These two exhibitions also form a contact zone\, in the physical connection between the  two buildings of Liljavalchs—one more than a century old\, at this moment holding contemporary artists; the other\, a contemporary building holding a century of painting. \n\n\n\nStockholm Cosmologies is the result of dialogues between two curators and their networks and relations\, their respective worlds brought into a zone of contact\, contained for the duration of the exhibition within the walls of Liljevalchs. \n\n\n\nAll of the fifteen participating artists are active in multiple geographies—spanning Scandinavia\, Africa\, and its diaspora. Together\, they form a spectrum of experiences that spans generations\, materials\, and geographies. The exhibition includes emerging artists as well as those who have been active for a longer time. Several of the works were made in 2025 and many of them are site-specific\, produced especially for Liljevalchs. \n\n\n\nStockholm Cosmologies takes as its starting point the concept of cosmology\, not in its scientific sense\, but rather as a poetic and political model for how artists relate to the world\, time\, place\, material\, and to one another. A cosmology can be seen as a worldview\, an inner map or an artistic orientation. In speaking of cosmologies in the plural\, the exhibition seeks to illuminate the myriad expressions that take place in artists’ studios\, as well as the unexpected parallels\, ruptures\, and reflections that can arise between artists who have neither met nor heard of each other\, and who work on different continents. \n\n\n\nStockholm Cosmologies is not an attempt to define the Swedish art scene but rather to offer a multifaceted and relational picture of what is going on within it right now. It is a proposal to see it as something open\, contradictory\, and in constant change—yet globally intertwined. A place where artistic cosmologies and aesthetics co-exist\, collide\, mirror each other and\, sometimes\, unfold in parallel. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition features the artists Filippa Arrias\, Igshaan Adams\, Karim Boumjimar\, Loulou Cherinet\, Theresa Traore Dahlberg\, Garth Erasmus\, Sara-Vide Ericson\, Salad Hilowle\, Bronwyn Katz\, Kitso Lynn Lelliott\, Kayo Mpoyi\, Pia Sandström\, Inga Somdyala\, Ylva Snöfrid and Lefifi Tladi. \n\n\n\n\n\n Opens 21 November \n\n Visitor info \n\n Book a guided tour \n\n Liljevalchs\, Djurgårdsvägen 60 URL:https://liljevalchs.se/kalender/stockholm-cosmologies/ CATEGORIES:Children & Youth,Guided tours,Konstsamling ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://liljevalchs.se/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/SC_HERO-IMAGE_purple_3200x2400-scaled.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260219T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260219T190000 DTSTAMP:20260727T201505 CREATED:20260121T115423Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260203T104859Z UID:10000265-1771524000-1771527600@liljevalchs.se SUMMARY:Visita comentada en español DESCRIPTION:Visita comentada en español \n\n\n\nWhen We See Us: A Century of Black Figuration in PaintingCuando Nos Vemos: Un siglo de Pintura y Figurativismo Negro \n\n\n\nTe invitamos a una visita comentada en español por la exposición When We See Us en Liljevalchs\, desde una perspectiva decolonial y afro centrada. \n\n\n\nConcebida originalmente por el Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Zeitz MOCAA) en Ciudad del Cabo y co-curada por Koyo Kouoh y Tandazani Dhlakama\, la muestra toma su título de When They See Us (2019) de Ava DuVernay para proponer un giro hacia la auto-representatividad\, o lo que Achille Mbembe denomina “autonarrativa”.

La exposición traza relaciones artísticas que atraviesan fronteras geográficas\, generacionales y conceptuales\, dando forma a las llamadas “estéticas paralelas”\, y reúne obras de artistas que se presentan por primera vez en Suecia\, acompañadas por una traducción sonora del compositor sudafricano Neo Muyanga. \n\n\n\nEl recorrido está a cargo de Rossana Mercado-Rojas\, artista\, especialista en pintura\, investigadora y trabajadora cultural peruana radicada en Estocolmo\, quien se aproxima a la exposición desde la experiencia de la migración\, el desplazamiento y las historias coloniales que atraviesan lenguas\, territorios y cuerpos. El énfasis estará puesto en artistas afro-diaspóricos vinculados a América Latina y el Caribe\, abordando la pintura y el figurativismo como formas de narrativa\, representación y documentación. El recorrido incorpora además un contexto histórico que destaca el papel de Haití —la primera república negra\, la primera revolución exitosa liderada por personas esclavizadas y la primera nación independiente de América Latina—\, junto con reflexiones sobre las historias contadas y no contadas de los procesos independentistas en América Latina y los procesos de abolición de la esclavitud. Todo ello en diálogo con las prácticas artísticas como formas de resistencia en relación al goce\, en relación con la noción de Black Joy presente en la muestra. \n\n\n\n\n\n Saturday June 27th\, 2 PM \n\n\n\n Liljevalchs+ \n\n\n\n Get ticket URL:https://liljevalchs.se/kalender/visita-comentada-en-espanol-when-we-see-us/ CATEGORIES:Konstsamling ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://liljevalchs.se/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Rossana-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260705T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260705T150000 DTSTAMP:20260727T201506 CREATED:20260617T093946Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260617T093947Z UID:10000327-1783260000-1783263600@liljevalchs.se SUMMARY:Guided tour: When We See Us DESCRIPTION:Come along for a guided tour of the exhibition When We See Us. \n\n\n\nThe guide for the tour is Heavens Okwuego\, who during the spring makes a guest appearence at Liljevalchs from Bozar in Brussels\, where the exhibition was shown last year.
